Property Disputes

There are several distinct advantages that mediation offers for individuals involved in property disputes. The first is that through a single procedure, disputing parties can resolve a dispute regarding property or properties. Rather than engaging in litigation, parties can reach an agreement in one confidential forum.

In mediation, parties have the opportunity to exercise higher levels of control over their own case outcome. Unlike litigation, parties in mediation have more control over the processes, can select their own professionals to assist, determine the location of the meetings, and set the structure and tone for mediation itself. This can also help to reduce big imbalances of power by bringing parties to a neutral table. Since parties tend to feel more comfortable discussing critical confidential issues in mediation, this also means that disputes can be resolved more quickly and at less expense to everyone involved.

Finally, the neutrality of the mediator assisting in your property dispute mediation can make you feel more comfortable with the process and outcome. Rather than serving one party’s interest, a mediator is on hand to help facilitate conversation between or among all involved. Choosing a mediator experienced in the field can make the process smoother and faster.
